Summary

  • list sccache in the Quick Start because src-tauri/.cargo/config.toml uses it as rustc-wrapper
  • document Linux/Tauri system prerequisites for desktop builds, including Debian/Ubuntu packages and the upstream Tauri docs link

Closes #715
Refs #692

Verification

  • git diff --check
  • npx --yes prettier --check docs/development.md

Note

Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only change; no runtime or build logic is modified, but the new prerequisites may affect developer setup expectations.

Overview
Updates docs/development.md Quick Start to explicitly list required tooling (including sccache used as the rustc-wrapper in src-tauri/.cargo/config.toml) and to document Linux desktop build prerequisites for Tauri with a Debian/Ubuntu package install snippet and a link to upstream distro-specific instructions.
